Background

In the third Generation Partnership project (3 rd Generation Partnership project,3 gpp) standard, location services functionality should be supported to allow for the development of new and innovative location-based services. For example, the current location of a User Equipment (UE) can be identified and reported in a standard format (e.g., geographic coordinates) and made available to the User, mobile Equipment (ME), network operator, service provider, value added service provider, and Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) intra-operator.

The location is provided to identify possible locations of particular MEs; the location may be used for charging, location-based services, lawful interception, emergency calls, location services, and the like.
